Privacy Policy

Pendral Inc. and its affiliated entities are committed to protecting the privacy and security of your personal information. We recognize that the privacy of your information is important. This Privacy Policy describes our practices in connection with information we collect through the online and mobile websites, platforms, services, and applications that we own or operate and that contain a link to this Privacy Policy (collectively, "Services").

As used in this Policy, terms such as "we," "us," "our," and "Company" refer to current and future affiliated entities, subsidiaries, agents, contractors, or vendors of Pendral Inc. Our Services are intended for a United States audience. Any information you provide, including any personal information, will be transferred to and processed by a computer server located within the United States.

By using the Services, you consent to our collection, use, disclosure, and storage of information as described in this Privacy Policy. We may change this Policy at any time. If we do so, such change will appear on our website. You may always visit this Policy to learn of any updates. Your continued access to or use of the Services constitutes your consent to these changes to this Policy.

When This Privacy Policy Applies

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information ("Personal Information") that we gather when you are accessing or using our Services, but not to the practices of other companies we don't own or control, or people that we don't manage. We gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information in connection with our Services. In certain cases, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties, but only as described below.

Our Policy does not apply to the practices of other companies or other websites or software applications that may be linked from or made available through our Services.

The inclusion of a link on our Services or the ability to utilize a third-party website or software application through our Services does not imply that we endorse, or otherwise monitor the privacy or security practices of that third-party website or software application or the accuracy of its content, and your use of the third-party website or software application is governed by the third-party's privacy policy.

This Privacy Policy is not intended to and does not create any contractual or other legal rights in or on behalf of any party.

What Information We Collect About You

We may collect two basic types of information through the Services: (1) information you provide directly to us, and (2) information that is automatically provided to us or collected through your use of our Services (collectively, "Information").

Such Information may include information that identifies you such as your full name, telephone number, email address, postal address, certain account numbers, your User ID that you create or is assigned to you, and other information described in this Privacy Policy.

When you use the Services, you may provide certain Information directly to us. For example, you may input a telephone number or email address into a webform or enter information into a chat functionality. We also may make certain information available to you on the Services that we collect from other sources.

We also may obtain Information that is automatically collected through the Services. The automatically collected Information may include demographic, de-identified, aggregated, or certain information from your device such as technical information about your device, web-browser information, and server log files collected by us or provided by you. See Cookies and Tracking for more information on automatically collected information.

You may limit the Information you provide or make available to us if you want to; however, that may limit your ability to access or use certain functions of the Services or to request certain services or information.

Mobile Devices and Applications

In addition to the Information identified above, we may collect the following Information:

We may obtain location data from your device to provide location-related services. You may withdraw consent to use precise, real-time, or network location data at any time by turning off the location-based feature on your mobile device or by not using any location-based features. If you withdraw your consent, functionality associated with precise, real-time, or network location will no longer work.

How We Use Your Information

We may use your Information:

We may use Information to contact you through any contact information you provide through our Services, including any email address, telephone number, cell phone number, or fax number.

We may, when permitted, combine your Information with other information, whether online or offline, maintained or available to us from you or from other sources, such as from our vendors, and we may use and disclose combined data for the purposes described in this Section or for internal business purposes. We may, when permitted, use and disclose de-identified and aggregated data for any purpose, which may include, without limitation, disclosures to third parties for analytics purposes such as evaluating the Services and providing additional benefits, programs, and services.

How We Share Your Information

We do not rent or sell your Personal Information in personally identifiable form to anyone. We will only share your Information with third parties as outlined in this Policy and as otherwise permitted by law or as permitted with your consent.

Pendral will not sell, license, transmit or disclose outside of Pendral the Information you provide to us unless (a) expressly authorized by you, (b) necessary to enable our service providers to perform certain functions for us, or (c) required or permitted by law. In all cases, we will disclose the information consistent with applicable laws and regulations and we will require the recipient to protect the information and use it only for the purpose it was provided and as necessary to assist us.

We may de-identify your Personal Information in accordance with applicable state and federal law, and provide that information to our partners. We may also provide aggregate usage information to our partners (or allow partners to collect that information from you), who may use such information to understand how often and in what ways people use our Services, so that they, too, can provide you with an optimal online experience.

We may choose to buy or sell assets, and may share and/or transfer customer information in connection with the evaluation of and entry into such transactions. Also, if we (or our assets) are acquired, or if we go out of business, enter bankruptcy, or go through some other change of control, Personal Information could be one of the assets transferred to or acquired by a third party.

We may share Information in response to a court order, subpoena, search warrant, or to comply with law or regulation. We may cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating and prosecuting activities that are illegal, violate our rules, or may be harmful to other visitors.

We may also share Information within the Company, including among affiliates, or with our parent company, or subsidiaries.

We may retain your information as needed for business purposes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, we will retain, access, use and disclose your information as we believe is necessary to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our Terms of Service and other agreements, or to protect the rights, property or safety of Pendral, our employees, our users or others.

AI Services and Third-Party AI Providers

Our Services, including the EvryAI web, desktop and mobile apps, use artificial intelligence models operated by other companies to answer you and to run the features you use. Before the EvryAI mobile app sends anything to these providers, it shows you what is shared and who receives it, and asks for your permission. You can review or withdraw that permission at any time in Settings, under Privacy.

When you use these features, we send the following to the provider that performs the task:

We collect this information when you provide it in a chat, and we use it only to generate responses for you and to provide the features you request, such as transcription, read-aloud, safety screening, model selection and web search. The providers that receive it are:

Each provider receives only what is needed for its task and processes it on our behalf. We have business associate agreements with each of these providers, which require them to protect the information with safeguards at least equal to those described in this Privacy Policy and to use it only to provide their services to us. Our accounts with them are set to zero data retention: they do not keep what we send after returning a response, and do not use it to train their models. We do not sell this information or use it for advertising.

Your chats, files and memories are stored in your account so you can return to them, and are kept until you delete them or your account, subject to the retention described below. Enterprise customers may arrange zero data retention on our platform as part of their agreement with us.

The EvryAI mobile apps do not track you across apps or websites owned by other companies, and do not share your information with data brokers.

How to Manage Your Information

Our Services may permit you to view your profile, if applicable, and access related Information about you and to request changes to such Information. Please remember, however, if we have already disclosed some of this Information to third parties, we may not have access to that disclosed information and may not be able to force the modification of any Information by the third parties to whom we have made those disclosures.

Communication Preference Management

Our Services may permit you to select how you would like to receive certain communications. You can view and update your communication preferences in your Account/Profile settings after logging into the Services.

We may offer mobile applications that enable us to communicate with you through push notifications. Where mobile applications are offered, you may be able to manage push notifications in your mobile phone or tablet settings. You may also be able to control preview settings in your email applications.

If you need additional assistance in opting-out of a communication, please contact us for assistance. Please be aware that opt-outs may not apply to certain types of communications, such as account status, Service updates, or other communications.

Cookies and Tracking

The Company may use various technologies, including cookies, tokens, tags, web logs, web beacons, scripts, and web server logs to gather automatically collected information and may aggregate this information from visitors of our Services or to enable certain features of our Services. This information may include demographic data, technical information about the technology (e.g., phone, computer) you use to connect to the Services, web browser information, your IP address, and browsing behavior such as pages visited and how often they are visited (collectively, "Activity Information"). We may also use third-party analytics companies to provide these services.

We may also allow third-parties to use cookies and other technologies to collect Activity Information and to track browsing activity over time and across third-party websites such as web browsers used to read our Services, which websites are referring traffic or linking to our Services, and to deliver targeted advertisements to you. We do not control these third-party technologies, and their use of such technologies is governed by their own privacy policies.

Activity Information is captured using various technologies and may include cookies. "Cookies" are small text files that may be placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit an online Service or click on a URL using your web browser. Cookies may include "single-session cookies" which generally record information during only a single visit to a website and then are erased, and "persistent" cookies which are generally stored on a computer or mobile device unless or until they are deleted or are set to expire. You may disable cookies and similar items by adjusting your browser preferences at any time; however, this may limit your ability to take advantage of all the features on our Services.

We gather Activity Information about you to improve the quality of our services, such as the best method and time to contact you. Some examples of the ways we use your Activity Information include:

As described above, we may use tracking technologies that allow us to recognize your device when you return to our Services within a period of time, as determined by us, and to support automatic login to your Services. To maintain your privacy, you should affirmatively log out of your account prior to your session ending. Unless you affirmatively log out of your account, you may be automatically logged back in the next time you or any user of your devices visits the Services.

Retention of Data

We will retain your personally identifiable information (PII) and Activity Information for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy. We will retain and use your PII to the extent necessary to comply with our legal obligations (for example, if we are required to retain your data to comply with applicable laws), resolve disputes, and enforce our legal agreements and policies.

Protecting Your Information

We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect the Information that you provide on our Services. These safeguards vary based on the sensitivity of the Information that is being collected, used, and stored. We cannot guarantee the security of our Services, nor can we guarantee the security of the Information you transmit to us over the Internet, including your use of email. We are not liable for the illegal acts of third parties such as criminal hackers.

It is your responsibility to safeguard the devices you use to access our Services (such as laptops, tablets and mobile devices), and to use appropriate security settings on those devices. If those devices are lost, stolen or misplaced, others may be able to access your account and your personal Information using those devices.

You agree that we are not responsible for any harm that may result from someone accessing your account or personal Information on any computer or device where you do not, for any reason, take the necessary steps to log out of your account prior to ending a session on such device or computer.

We retain Information for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it is collected, subject to a longer period if the Information is relevant to a legal challenge.

Children Under 16

We will not intentionally collect any personal information (as that term is defined in the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act) from children under the age of 13 through our Services without receiving parental consent. If you think that we have collected such personal information from a child under the age of 13 through our Services, please contact us immediately.

Your Email

We welcome your comments or questions about our Site and Services. You can email your comments to our customer service center at contact@pendral.io. We will share your comments and questions with our customer service representatives and those employees most capable of addressing your questions and concerns. Please note that your email, like all non-encrypted Internet email communications, may be accessed and viewed by other Internet users, without your knowledge and permission, while in transit to us. For that reason, to protect your privacy, please do not use email to communicate information to us that you consider confidential. If you wish, you may contact us instead by email.

How can you stop receiving emails?

Each marketing email we send to you contains an unsubscribe link through which you may easily opt-out of receiving future commercial emails from us. If you do not wish to receive additional commercial emails from Pendral, simply click the unsubscribe link and follow the instructions to unsubscribe your email address. If you have unsubscribed but continue to receive email from us, you may report this to us by emailing contact@pendral.io. Please note that unsubscribe requests may take up to 7-10 days to process. You will have the ability to opt out of any marketing or advertising communications, but we may still send you communications relating to your Account for purposes important to the Services, such as password recovery or a payment reminder.

Social Security Number Protection Policy

It is our policy to protect the confidentiality of Social Security numbers ("SSNs") that we receive or collect in the course of business. We secure the confidentiality of SSNs through various means, including physical, technical, and administrative safeguards that are designed to protect against unauthorized access. It is our policy to limit access to SSNs to that which is lawful and to prohibit unlawful disclosure of SSNs.
